Can I print on a polyester garment?

• Yes, you can print on a 100% polyester garment, as well as on a polyester/cotton blend. To print on a polyester garment, apply the Polyester pre-treatment solution (part number C13T43R200) and print direct-to-garment (DTG). Do not dilute the Polyester pre-treatment solution if you print on dark garments; to print on light garments, mix 1 part Polyester pre-treatment solution to 6 parts distilled water. Pre-treatment application to a garment is required prior to printing on polyester. We recommend you use a pre-treatment machine to apply the pre-treatment solution for consistent print quality.

  You can also use the direct-to-film (DTFilm) transfer process. This involves printing on Digital-Transfer-Film (DTF), applying a hot melt adhesive powder to the film, and then transferring the image onto a garment with a heat press. Please see the film manufacturer’s recommendations for temperature and press times.
